Abstract: A wireless communication network handles Session Management Function (SMF) outage in a Tracking Area (TA). An external SMF that is outside the TA registers with an internal Network Repository Function (NRF) that is inside in the TA. The internal NRF detects the SMF outage for an internal SMF inside the TA. The internal NRF receives an SMF request from an internal Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) inside the TA. In response to the SMF outage, the internal NRF transfers an SMF response to the internal AMF that indicates the external SMF. The external SMF receives network signaling from the internal AMF and responsively directs an external User Plane Function (UPF) that is outside the TA to exchange user data with internal wireless access nodes that are inside the TA.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to interception of data traffic that is traversing a network at a relatively high throughput rate. In some examples, a request to initiate interception is received from a server. In response to receiving the request to initiate interception, an instruction to forward user plane data to the server can be transmitted to a User Plane Function (UPF). The UPF may be transferring the user plane data in a data flow. The instruction may cause the UPF to forward the user plane data to the server in multiple streams. In addition, control plane data associated with the data flow can be transmitted to the server.

Abstract: A method for selecting a user plane function when a user equipment (UE) attaches to a wireless communication network may include determining a data throughput limit associated with the UE, identifying a first user plane function having a first data throughput capacity, and identifying a second user plane function having a second data throughput capacity, wherein the first throughput capacity is higher than the second throughput capacity. The method may further include selecting the first user plane function if the data throughput limit of the UE is above a predetermined threshold, selecting the second user plane function if the data throughput limit of the UE is below the predetermined threshold, and sending a session request to the selected first or second user plane function.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to migrating a communication session from a path including a stressed user plane function (UPF) to a path including a replacement UPF. A communication session may traverse a first path including the first UPF. After establishing the communication session, the first UPF may be determined to be stressed. In response, the communication session can be proactively migrated to a second path including a second UPF. According to various implementations, the existing communication session can be maintained during the migration, thereby substantially eliminating interruptions caused by the stressed first UPF.

Abstract: Methods, media, and systems provide a more robust IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) deregistration process that deregisters a user equipment under circumstances that currently prevent a timely deregistration. For example, the aspects deregister a user equipment (UE) from an IMS core even when the UE disconnects from the Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) or other EPC component without sending a SIP deregistration to the IMS core. The technology described herein automatically generates a deregistration message and communicates the message to the IMS core (e.g., a Session Termination Request Communication using Diameter Protocol between a PCRF & a P-CSCF) upon determining the session with the EPC is terminated. The UE is then deregistered from the IMS core.

Abstract: Solutions for providing a data traffic session for a user equipment (UE) over a wireless network comprises: receiving, by a session management node (e.g., a session management function, SMF), for a packet routing node (e.g., a user plane function, UPF), an indication of supported interne protocol (IP) traffic type (e.g., IPv4 or IPv6), wherein the indication of supported IP traffic type indicates support for a first IP traffic type or support for a second IP traffic type; allocating, by the session management node, to the packet routing node, a set of IP addresses based on at least the indication of supported IP traffic types, wherein allocating the set of IP addresses comprises allocating only supported IP addresses and withholding allocation of unsupported IP addresses; and providing, to the UE, using an IP address of the set of IP addresses, the data traffic session through the packet routing node.

Abstract: System and methods for efficient serving gateway and packet data gateway selections are described. A mobile device may attempt transmit an attach request to a network requesting packet data services in a particle protocol. A control plane of a serving gateway may receive the attach request and determine a serving gateway user plane that is configured to operate in the specified protocol. The serving gateway control plane may then propagate the determined serving gateway user plane to a packet data network gateway control plane for selection of the serving gateway user plane and a corresponding packet data network gateway user plane for use in providing packet services to the mobile device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying a traffic flow on a network to determine parameters are described herein. The systems and methods use a policy API of a cellular network to allow entities to self-identify when, for example, their traffic flows may be encrypted or the identity of the originating location is obfuscated. The requesting entity accesses the policy API and transmits a self-identification request for a particular set of parameters to be used for subsequent traffic flows from the self-identification requesting entity. The cellular network may use the self-identification requests to allocate resources according to the parameters listed in the self-identification request without requiring the cellular network to decrypt the transmissions or analyze the transmissions to determine parameters.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to prioritizing access by first user equipment (UEs) connected to a first radio access technology (RAT) type over access by second UEs connected to a second RAT type responsive to a failure of a core network node. A node of the core network, such as a session management node, may determine that another node of the core network has failed based on a negative response or no response from that other node. The node may then prioritize access based on RAT types of requesting UEs.

The method may further include selecting the first user plane function if the data throughput limit of the UE is above a predetermined threshold, selecting the second user plane function if the data throughput limit of the UE is below the predetermined threshold, and sending a session request to the selected first or second user plane function.

A communication session may traverse a first path including the first UPF. After establishing the communication session, the first UPF may be determined to be stressed.

Abstract: A telecommunication network associated with a wireless telecommunication provider can be configured to select user-plane functions (UPFs) for a user equipment (UE) in a network, and the handover of subscriber sessions. According to some configurations, a nearest UPF to the UE can be picked to service the UE. Choosing the nearest UPF may reduce latency to the UE when sending and receiving packets through a cellular network, such as a 5G network. Subscriber sessions can be handed over across multiple UPFs based on mobility of the UE. Subscriber sessions may be anchored on UPFs located either on edge locations or centralized data centers. Because of mobility of subscribers from a first location (e.g., x) to a second location (e.g., y), a subscriber's session can be moved from one user plane node to another user plane node seamlessly.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to enabling operation of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) while preventing application quiescence during FPGA reconfiguration. In embodiments of the disclosure, proxy agent firmware may enable downstream transactions (e.g., PCIe transactions) to be serviced during reconfiguration of the FPGA. Programmable logic states (e.g., PCIe configuration states or memory-mapped input/output (MMIO) states) are saved in memory and maintained by the proxy agent (via a management controller running the proxy agent). Once the FPGA is reconfigured, the state may be restored to the FPGA's programmable logic, and the FPGA may operate on the current state of the transactions.

Abstract: Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide a programmable logic device including a network-on-chip (NoC) to facilitate data transfer between one or more main intellectual property components (main IP) and one or more secondary intellectual property components (secondary IP). To reduce or prevent excessive congestion on the NoC, the NoC may include one or more traffic throttlers that may receive feedback from a data buffer, a main bridge, or both and adjust data injection rate based on the feedback. Additionally, the NoC may include a data mapper to enable data transfer to be remapped from a first destination to a second destination if congestion is detected at the first destination.
